Our Programs

Building a Foundation for Success in College, Career, and Community Citizenship

At Tidewater Academy, we offer a Preschool-Grade 12 college-preparatory curriculum. Students learn in a classroom environment that is caring, engaging, and challenging. Our small class sizes provide a special environment where teachers can provide individualized attention and students can thrive academically. We focus on the traditional disciplines of English, Mathematics, Science, History, Foreign Language, and Art, while developing the core values of family, community, and good citizenship. There are also opportunities to pursue yearbook, financial literacy, service learning, and dual enrollment. Students may seek to develop leadership skills through SGA, or other student organizations, as well as participate on athletic teams. Special events, field trips, guest speakers, and independent study projects provide education beyond the classroom. Students graduate from Tidewater Academy as well-rounded young adults ready to succeed in college, at work, and in their communities.

It’s a special environment that nurtures young minds and shapes our students into lifelong learners, leaders, and citizens who positively impact the communities in which they live and the industries in which they work.

Student Life
